PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Having just posted an English/grammar/syntax post over in General...I'll attempt to recount my grammar lessons from the 10th grade.

"No, I'm not the mole" is correct and does not contain a double negative. The "No" at the beginning is an introductory adverb and is used as an indicator that the following clause or sentence is a negation of what was previously stated or implied. The "not" in the main sentence is also in a different clause as the "No." If Erik would have said, "No, I'm the mole," it would be like him saying, "Contrary to your belief, I am the mole." If he would have said, "Yes, I'm not the mole," it would mean, "I am agreeing with you in that I am not the mole."

Although I am terrible in grammer, I agree with Beav. It is not a double negative. But then again that does not change the fact that he worded that phrase in a strange way. Unless he was replying to a question or something.

Like: are you the mole?Eric: No, I am not the mole.

Otherwise who knows?It is astonishing how foolish humans can be in groups, especially when they follow their leaders without question - States: The Bene Gesserit View. All States Are an Abstraction.

I agree with the grammatical correctness of the sentence as well. Also, I agree with the fact that Erik (as well as Kathy and Frederique) could've been asked "Are you the Mole?" rather than just told to say "I'm not the Mole." It would probably make their answers look more natural on camera. On the other hand, his answer WAS still different from the other two, so who knows!
